Does anybody know where I can get a stock for a Remington model 760 gamemaster pump rifle. I looked in the Gun Parts, Inc catalog and they had every Rem stock in different variations. They had the 760 but only the BDL grade stock for 109 bucks. I am trying to just a get a cheaper standard...

Hi, I had this post in "The Art of the Rifle" and realized it should be here. I recently read that if one tries to make a "Reduced" load for a 7mm Rem Mag that it creates dangerously high chamber pressures. My Nosler reloading manual says that a good starting load for a 150 grain ballistic...

Hi all, I recently read that if one tries to make a "Reduced" load for a 7mm Rem Mag that it creates dangerously high chamber pressures. My Nosler reloading manual says that a good starting load for a 150 grain ballistic tip bullet is 48 grains of IMR 4895 this gives a mv of 2780 fps according...

Hi all, Any of you have experience w/ Ruger 77 mkIIs? It seems the only scope mount you can use is the ruger mount. Is this true? If so, are the Ruger mounts any good? Also what is a good price for one in 7mm Mag? Thanks for input?

Hi all, I am looking at two scopes to top an m700 in .30-06. The 1st is the Zeiss Diavari C U.S.A series 3-9x36mm The 2nd is the Swarovski 3-9x36 Plex The Zeiss is about 55 bucks less than the Swarovski. But that $55 is pretty much irrelevant I want to know what scope you all think is...

I have always stuck with Remington primers but being on a tight budget these days I have decided to try CCI primers. Is your experience with these primers favorable. They are priced very well around here. Thanks, Orso

Hi All, How do gas cylinders on a garand "go bad" I have a rifle (in .308) that "short strokes" with one gas cylinder but functions properly with another. The cylinders look identical. How is is that this piece of metal "goes bad". Thanks for input. [This message has been edited by orsogato...

Hi all, I am rebuilding an m1 rifle. I want to have my receiver refinished as there is some wearing on the op rod rail guide, and the original finish is quite worn. The receiver is an H&R. Would blueing help protect the receiver at all, or should I just have it re-parkerized? The main goal is...

Does anybody know a good source online for Rifle Competition Shooting Jackets for CMP match competition shooting? Also, does anybody know of a good source for target centers for 200 yard comp. shooting.

I did my good deed for the day today. I was up at the rifle range after work doing some shooting. This kid (maybe about 9 or 10) and his grandpap show up. I was shooting my Garand, and M1A I brought up about 100 rounds or so for each gun. This grandpap is up there with a .300 Win Mag. Anyhow...

Hi all, I am interested in finding out your opinions on the most common cartridge of the really big bore magnums. By this I mean no .30 caliber cartridges. Something with a larger bore. I am thinking of cartridges in the lines of .338 WIN MAG, .375 H&H MAG., etc. all the way up to the big...

Anybody out there keep their gunsafes on an upper level floor of their home rather than their basement levels? I am wondering if the thing is too damn heavy for an upper level floor. The basement is kind of damp and i dont need my guns exposed to all that moisture while they are out of harms...

I read a post in the reloading section on how in Australia you have to get a license for every gun you own, but then you can only use it for certain things. SO let me get this straight if the license says you can only target shoot with your .308 m700 then you have to get another license to shoot...

I was wondering, because All these wacko shooters turn up in states were nobody else can shoot back. The guy in the New York city subway, This nutball in the Peoples Republic of California. How come all these recent shootings end up with the shooter dead too? I don't know about you folks but I...

Hi all, I am real close to "graduating" from an RCBS "Rock Chucker" press to something that can really crank out ammo, i.e. Dillon 550. My question is thus: Can you easily switch calibers during a reloading session or is it a real pain to say load 200 .223 rounds then switch to .308 to load...

I just got done watching an episode of "Tales of the Gun" on The History Chanel. The subtle bias on this channel never ceases to amaze me. First of all the episode is titled "automatic pistols" which of course none of the pistols showed were automatic they were all semi-automatic such as the...

It seems the folks at Remington have put a barrel with a 1/12'' twist rate on their m700vls. The odd thing to me is that they have the same twist 1/12'' on their m700BDLs in .308, but their m700BDLS in .30-06' have a 1/10'' twist. My questions are: 1. Can the 1/12'' twist stabalize a 150 or a...

Some questions for all you big bore shooters. 1. If you were picking up a .44 magnum and money were no object what would you get as far as the best quality? 2. If money WERE an object (and it is) what would be your best choice for the $$$$. NOt the cheapest but the best value and quality for...
